I didn't really like this game. It a good game and all but compared to other RPGs that I have played I this game didn't provide me the best entertainment. My main problem with this game is the battle system; it simple just wasn't fun and didn't entertain me. I mean it is a good battle-system it's just doesn't draw the attention of all RPG gamers and only medium-pro RPG gamers. Other then that I had no problems with the gameplay. I think that the gameplay of very game should appeal to everyone that enjoys that gender of gaming and if it does it is a not that great of game. The storyline is just not entertaining… I mean it has been over used and I just didn't like it. The replay value is high for this game if you get into the gameplay and there is no replay value if you don't; there really isn't middle to it. If you do end up liking the game you are looking at anywhere from 30-50 hours of gameplay one time around depending on your RPG skills. The graphics are great for an RPG game this large on the GameCube… I was really surprise that the graphics where this good I expected them to be worse then this. The sound effects were great, really no problem with them. This is an average RPG that I only recommend to gamers who are really into RPGs. If you are new to RPG check out some other RPG before you get this game, because this game is not very friendly to gamers who are new to the RPG gender.
